Isomerism in organic chemistry Isomers are compounds with different physical and chemical properties but same chemical formula Two types: Structural or Constitutional isomers Stereoisomers or Configurational isomers Structural isomers: All have formula C5H12
Stereoisomers Stereoisomers are compounds that have same molecular and structural formula, but differ in spatial arrangement of the atoms There are two main subtypes: Diastereomers and Enantiomers Geometrical isomers are also stereoisomers but this type of isomerism arises due to restricted rotation around rigid bonds in the molecule. Example: Cis 2-butene and trans 2-butene We will discuss more about stereoisomers later on in lab !!
